Chapter 41: From a ring to a halberd

Well have to trouble you, then. Lan Xiao sighed softly. He held Nan Chengs hand tightly to comfort her.

The sudden change today was already completely out of their control and other than trusting Nana right now, there was nothing else they could do. They couldnt even seek other Spirit Masters help regarding this incident because by doing so, it would reveal the origin of Lan Xuanyuthis wasnt something that Lan Xiao wanted.

They were completely convinced of Nanas capabilities, and they could only trust her now.

Alright, Ill go help Xuanyu sort out his meridians now. Nana stood up and headed straight into Lan Xuanyus room.

Seeing her retreating figure, Nan Cheng looked at Lan Xiao anxiously. Why did this happen? How could this be!

Lan Xiao sighed softly. Actually, I already had a feeling during Xuanyus spirit awakening; this childs extraordinary side would be revealed for sure. Lets do what we can, we must believe in him.

With that said, his lips moved but there was no sound as he turned to Nan Cheng. He could maintain a strong vitality even in such cold conditions in the extreme northhe will be fine.

Nana sat next to Lan Xuanyu as he lay on the bed. Her fair palms pressed against his back gently and a soft halo flowed from her fingertips, carefully entering his body.

She furrowed her brows and was deep in thoughts. When she was resolving the crisis for Lan Xuanyu today, she felt a strong connection with those two types of energy. It felt as if she got hold of something important yet she couldnt make sense of it.

She felt like she knew how to deal with these, but she just could not recall. This feeling was simply too torturous.

From his back to both his legs, then to his arms, Nana carefully sorted out Little Xuanyus body. When she finally held his little hand to sort out the meridians on his palm, her body trembled all of a sudden without any reason.

At that moment, Nanas pupils constricted, and her gaze was focused on Little Xuanyus right thumb.

The dark blue ring didnt look like much. There was a faint pattern on it, but when Nana looked at this ring, she felt as if she had an electric shock.

In that instant, there was a loud voice deep in her heart telling her that she recognized this ring.

She was very certain of this point even though she didnt know why she would recognize it.

Also, this ring should be extremely important to her.

She closed her eyes and some fragmented scenes appeared in her head; these scenes were discontinuous.

Her surroundings were pitch black; there wasnt a hint of light in the darkness at all. It was very cold and painful, like a sort of heart-wrenching pain.

She could vaguely see her own fingers and that ring slowly slipped into her finger.

She could suddenly recall everything.

Does this ring originally belong to me?

Nana was stunned. Where did this child get this ring from? Her finger trembled slightly as she touched that ring.

A cold sensation that was filled with pride came creeping up on her, and it was entirely spiritual; Nan Cheng and Lan Xiao couldnt feel it at all.

A bunch of silvery light lit up on her fingertips and that dark blue ring, which could not be taken off, immediately unfolded like a little snake. It climbed up and landed in Nanas hand.

It became a ring once again but that chilliness was even more distinct. Also, it became much heavier in Nanas hand.

There was an extreme sense of familiarity, and an intense feeling of sorrow filled her heart. Nana was trembling slightly, and she held the ring firmly in her hand as she stood up slowly.

A silver light flickered, and she disappeared from the room just like that.

When she reappeared, she was already high up in the sky.

It was already late at night; the clouds were moving and the air was cold. But Nanas heart was filled with that tragic feeling, and she felt like she had to let it out.

She lifted her hand slowly and that ring in her hand unfolded once again. It happened rapidly and in a blink of an eye, it actually became a halberd that was two zhang [1] long.

The dark blue blade exuded a cold light and the deep magic pattern flowed in every corner.

The second Nana held the halberd, her surroundings became distorted. The clouds nearby within a kilometer seemed to be moved by a large invisible hand and everything around her began spinning, turning into a huge vortex of clouds.

Holy Heaven Dividing this is your name. I remember now, youre called the Holy Heaven Dividing Halberd. She lifted her right hand and waved the Holy Heaven Dividing Halberd forward.

A faint dark blue light flashed across and her body charged forward, leaving a deep trace in the air.

The vast sky was faintly discernible within that deep tracethe sky tore apart!

A piercing alarm blared across the entire city, waking Nana who was deep in remorse. The dark blue light disappeared, and with a flash of silver light, she was gone again.

The alarm went on for an entire night, and there was a piece of breaking news that was broadcast at every major satellite channels in Zi Luo City. There was an inexplicable wave of energy that appeared, and they couldnt find out what caused it. The satellite didnt manage to capture any images either.

And that originator had already returned to Lan Xuanyus room. She didnt think too much about that dark blue ring and carefully slipped it off and placed it back around Lan Xuanyus right thumb.

When Lan Xuanyu woke up from his deep sleep, the sky was already brightly lit.

At this very moment, he only felt one thinghunger!

Intense hunger!

It was as if his entire stomach was empty and he could eat an entire cow.

Mommy, Mommy, Im so hungry! He rushed out of his own room and ran straight into the kitchen as he yelled.

He landed in a soft embrace. Dont rush, food will be ready soon.

Teacher Nana, I am so hungry! Lan Xuanyu lifted his head and hugged her as he gave her a pitiful look.

Nana smiled. I know, itll be ready very soon.

At this moment, Nan Cheng walked out of the kitchen with a big plate that was filled with food in her hand. The thick fragrance wafted through the house.

Those were long pieces that looked soft, and it was the first time Lan Xuanyu saw something like that.

Mommy, what is this? Lan Xuanyu asked inquisitively.

Nan Cheng had an awkward expression as she glanced at Nana and said, Its delicious. Youre hungry, right? Eat some first. Actually, she didnt know what that was either.

Nana brought it over early in the morning and told her that Little Xuanyu would be awake very soon and would be starving.

Nan Cheng merely warmed up the food she brought over. She then served them.

Nana said, This should be the main tendon of a certain large anima. It is good for the body. The quality is average, but this was the best I could find given the limited time.

At the cafeteria of a certain institute.

Eh, where did the dragon lizard tendon that I prepared yesterday go? Who touched it? This is for the nourishment of the dean. Hand it over if you have taken it! It will be a serious matter if the dean pursues the matter!

We didnt! Head Chef, youre always the last one to lock the door and the first to arrive. Did you see it last night?

I remembered very clearly that I kept it properly before I left last night. This dragon lizard may be farmed, but it required ten whole years before the tendon could be extracted to be cooked! It is good stuff! Could it be a thief? But the door and windows are intact!

[1]: One zhang is 3.3 meters.
